 List  satellites  at  the  time  it  considered  the  transfer  of  control  of  the  six  associated  earth  stations,  held  by  New  Skies  Networks  (NSN), 
 to  SES  GLOBAL.  (See  IBFS  File  Nos.,  SES-  T/  C-  20060106-  00013;  SES-  AMD-  20060320-  00471).  On  January  20,  2006,  the
